and the world turns.... Reality check Flyers have the best team at the break healthwise and performance..... "How will we deal with the facts.... Right now we can't handle the facts..." We are fans and this can be overcome... Much like the hossa to detroit issue.

Happy for Hossa that he got the Cup that he wanted so much, now Chicago is stuck with his contract for years and a player that is in decline and can't avoid injuries like before. When he got concussed last year from a very clean hit by a useless scrub like Colby Armstrong, it's a sign that your awareness isn't the same as it used to be.

Hossa still is one of the better forwards in the NHL and is a backchecking demon, but I think we saw with the Pens his absolute best and not being able to re-sign him actually turned out very well.
